Resource in cluster service requires IP address to be available first, but ip resource seems to start after the resource in RHEL 5 or 6

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • We need the IP address to be available before our script starts, but the cluster service starts the script first.
  • ip resources should be started before script resources. The ip resources however come up after the script resources.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 or 6 with the High Availability Add On
  • One or more cluster services in /etc/cluster/cluster.conf with an ip resource and another resource configured as "siblings", for instance:
<service ...>
   <ip .../>
   <lvm ...>
        <fs ...>
            <script .../>
        </fs>
   </lvm>
</service>
